Oh god, is anyone else fighting with their seating charts right now? FI and I were up till 1 am last night trying to figure it out. We abandoned ship and plan to regroup tonight. He wants to write names on a bunch of post it notes and stick them to the wall for a visual aid. How come our family and friends can't just neatly divide into groups of 10??

Re: Seating chart hell!
Good luck! Post-Its always help me with stuff (for some reason, I'm much more likely to finish a to-do list on a post-it than in a notebook, ha ha).
with tables etc... and they can sit where they want at the table! lol

We used paper plates on the kitchen table, #d them and recreated our ballroom and marked where FI and I were sitting, the DJ, dance floor, bar, etc and then used post its for each person and arranged people in tables from 8-12, our venue said 10 is best but some tables we did 12 bc lets face it i wasnt paying for extra centerpieces.

I just keep telling myself they will only be there to eat, and then will move around!

Most of our guests kind of evenly split with the families and all, but I have a few that may end up at like a random table.
[QUOTE]We have tables of 8, we grouped people together (work people, families etc).. added some strays.... we definitely don't have even tables, most have 8, some have 7, 6 and one 5. I just keep telling myself they will only be there to eat, and then will move around!

This. I started off with all tables of 8. Then things got moved around so I have some 8s, some 7s, some 6s. I wish I could figure out a way to combine and drop out of a table but it just isn't working.
I used excel. Made 13 tables, slots of 8 at each and just started dragging and dropping.
